What Others Say
Love it!
I bought this for my husband for his birthday and he LOVES it. His only compliant was the battery life was not very good. When he used it for the first time he went on a 5-6 hour bike ride and it went dead after about
3-4 hours. It has great sound and is very durable. We really like the remote feature.
Exceeded All Expectations
Sound quality is pretty amazing, build is great. You would think this would be a little overkill in terms of cluttering your bicycycle but the form and function with the included remote control just works....

This is a good, well designed product that can resist rough treatment. The quality and volume of sound, considering its size, is excellent indoors, but outdoors, where it is supposed to be used, it gets inevitabily dispersed and is weaker than I expected.

Nice, but not fully compatible with iPod Nano 3G
First the bad news:
The Amazon page for this speaker claims compatibility with "all docking iPods"; however, this claim is out of date. There are issues using the speaker with a 3G Nano. (As of this writing, the "better together" feature is recommending buying the speaker with a 3G Nano, so be aware of this issue!)
To physically carry different sized iPods, the iH85 ships with plastic inserts of various sizes. However, the Nano insert only works with the old (no-longer-available) Nano form factor. The Nano you can buy today (3G) is shorter and wider (presumably to accomodate the screen).
If you call them to discuss this issue, iHome will ship you a foam insert which you can use (in conjunction with ... Read More
